Burdock-Ginger Jam

* 1 pound of sliced burdock stems
* 1 1/4 cups sugar
* 3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger (about 1 ounce)
* 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar
dissolves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until jam thickens and mounds
on spoon, stirring often to prevent scorching, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl. 

Cover; chill.
